In an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus there is provided an operator control panel having a display screen indicating certain standard selectable features for a copying operation including copy format (simplex to duplex, etc. ), paper supply source, copy quality, magnification and exit location with plural displayed options for each feature. Keys and buttons are provided for altering the display to indicate a displayed selected option for each. For more complex operations the display may be changed to display various operator selectable special job level features for a copying operation available on a job level basis. The displaying is further alterable to display various operator selectable special page level features for a copying operation specific to reproducing a selected page of a multisheet document job. Thus a layered approach is provided in the series of displays from a standard features presentation which a casual user would be comfortable using, to a job level features presentation for a more complex reproduction at the job level, to a page level features presentation for designation of specific page level features for selection. User friendliness is enhanced with consistent use of indicia identifying a feature under consideration, selection of such feature and whether or not additional screens must be called up to further define that feature and further identifying other features which may not be chosen when a certain feature is chosen.
